NFL Week 4 winners, losers

With most of the NFL’s Week 4 schedule in the books, it is time to take a look at some of the biggest winners and losers from Sunday’s action. Matthew Stafford and Patrick Mahomes both had big games for their respective teams, while the Philadelphia Eagles’ special teams unit came through again. 

NFL Week 4 winners

Matthew Stafford, quarterback, Los Angeles Rams. If Stafford is healthy, the Rams are Super Bowl contenders, and he showed why on Sunday by completing 29-of-41 passes for 375 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. That includes two touchdowns in the final four minutes to lead the Rams to a 27-20 win. 

Patrick Mahomes, quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs. Maybe he just needed Xavier Worthy back to really get right. Mahomes threw four touchdown passes as the Chiefs offense finally clicked together in a convincing 37-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens. 

Payton Wilson, linebacker, Pittsburgh Steelers. How is someone a winner for making a tackle on an 81-yard pass play? Simply because Wilson made the tackle. His hustle to chase down Jordan Addison forced the Minnesota Vikings to run three extra plays and take a crucial minute of clock time off. It was a potential game-saving play.
